rereading and yep, i'd still give several limbs to write like this.

DDDDDDDDDD:

Supongo que me ha malacostumbrado el haber leído varias cosas de Megan Abbott y releído White Oleander hace poco, pero no dejo de pensar que intenta imitar sus estilos y se queda corta, cortísima, resbalando bastante hacia la purple prose.

Beautifully written but very slow progress on my part, mostly because I've had to put it down for a bit during some of the descriptions of the campaigns and the struggle sessions.

i only get maybe 5-10 minutes reading time per day and this slow progress is killing me

very slow progress, it's being a shitt month

really enjoying this so far

hi, my name is adhara and i'm only reading this because i'm a dreamer and there's still a tiny sliver of hope that the spoilers from the last months were just a massive trolling experiment

sort of forcing myself to finish this at this point - i feel like i should be enjoying it much more than i am and the stress from exams/jobhunt has turned my brain into mush. i can only focus on the abuse of semicolons and the overdescriptive bits at the moment.

loving it but i'm so worried about everyone in this book

It's very refreshing to find an urban fantasy book that isn't full of unnecesary, tacked on exposition about why things are happening. I loved Sierra and the tension build-up was perfect - I read the last third in one go, couldn't put it down.

this is way way WAY more lazily written than the first one and i was very close to dropping it (like, 2 or 3 more pages about how pretty aimeric is and how much trouble it costs close) so thank god for laurent doing something other than looking pretty for once

so far this reads like nicely written fanfiction of the sleeping beauty trilogy but without women

exposition dump galore so far
